In looking for parts to put a chev small block in my 72 LeMans I found a reference in a major Canadian automotive parts supplier catelogue (Canadian Tire) that implies that the LeMans 350 has either a blue engine (Pontiac) or an orange engine (Chev).

Does anyone know if these originally came with Chev engines? Is this maybe a Canadian only thing?

Thanks

dave

Many Canadian Pontiacs got the Chevy engine. Not sure about your specific situation.

the canadian models [all] got the chevy engines in them as far as i know. if you are looking for parts to convert from a pontiac engine the same year of chevelle or malibu will have the correct parts for your swap. mike
